This sounds reasonable (it should be unnecessary, but one can script

IMO, this is hardly a "no problems, except" problem. This is a
show-stopper, unacceptable even the worker doesn't mind doing it by
hand. This makes the "blame" command useless for investigating the
provenance of any code that appears in the deleted-readded file. You
might get by with this in other projects, but Emacs cares greatly
about such issues for legal reasons.
It also makes one wonder about Bazaar, but that's a whole other issue.
